In partnership with Walk2Connect, Walking Movement Leaders will lead 2 complete series of 14 community walks (plus one built-in weather day) along the High Line Canal Trail. One series will be at 3 mph on Fridays at 7:30 am, and the other series will be our “social” series at 2 mph on Saturdays and Sundays at 7:30 am, from June to October. Each series also has a built-in Full Moon Walk! Walking through all five character zones, we’ll learn the Canal’s history and its importance to Denver over time.
Join us for all segments or just one to explore our favorite urban trail
Join us for all segments or just one! Ranging from 5-8 miles, these segments allow you to continuously walk close to 98% of the Canal this summer. Pick your speed. If you want to walk, chat, and connect, pick the Friday 3 MPH Series. If you want to walk at a bit slower pace, take pictures, chat, and connect, pick the Social Series on Saturdays and Sundays. You may “mix and match” segments, but please respect the estimated speeds for each series. Participants who complete all 14 segments by the last scheduled segments will receive a branded tag from the High Line Canal Conservancy signifying the completion of the entire Canal trail.
Explore the Canal this summer!
RSVP by visiting each specific event page linked below.
This event is a gift to you. Each segment is limited to 30 people, and preference is given to High Line Canal Heroes and Walk2Connect Champions.
Come connect with yourself, make friends and create a 71-mile adventure you won’t forget.
Register at Walk2Connect Events for all the segments you want to join. Signing up is required, as final logistics related to parking and gathering for each segment will be emailed the day before the walk or available by phone to all those who sign up.
